I bought this book simply because it features
Harley Quinn, but when I seen all of the changes to her character design and
her personality I shone away from the book after reading one issue. Over
Christmas I decided to stop judging it before given it a chance so after months
and months of putting it off, I finally got around to reading it.
We are introduced to supervillains like King
Shark, Deadshot, Voltaic and yo-yo who have all been recruited from prison to
do the governments dirty work for them.
The story focuses on Deadshot more than the rest
of the suicide squad with him being the team leader which really work’s, he’s a
great character and a vicious killer but that’s all we get to see so far, he’s
kept really secret.
I found the first couple of issues very slow and
dull because they throw in so many different characters at first without giving
you the chance to get to know most of them but then the story takes a turn and
there is really nice twists thrown in, nothing too big but it’s what made the
story pick up for me.
My reasons for not liking Harley at first was
because they made her out to be a dumb-ass blonde who doesn’t fit on the team but
eventually after a couple of issues we get to see the true dangerous genius
that she is, come to life nearer to the end.
There isn’t much more I can really say about it
without giving the whole book away, but for all you who love action and gore
with a good story it’s worth the read. I actually quite enjoyed it nearer to
the end and I will be buying the next volume but I have to dock it a few marks
because they changed Harley way too much for the worst in my opinion and the
first couple of issues were slow.
I give it 7/10
